Dear everybody.

Thanks and thanks again for everything we get sent to us.  I was so pleased with the lovely Shoes  they are so comfortable, because I have such sore feet, but they were so big, thank you so much, and for all the other things I got.  it’s so welcome.  I was in Town, for Beret’s 70^th birthday.  30 people were there.  there are so many Children and Sons in law. and she has many Siblings so the house quickly gets full.  Last Saturday Konrad’s, youngest daughter Jorun got Married.  all the children were home. The wedding was in Hegra.  Odd is also home now.  very nice boy.  At Aksel’s it’s as usual.  all of our relatives say hello.  please write a few words again, you Alma are so good at writing.  Well this is just enough to let you, see that I’ve received the other Package.  I must end this, because I want to include the song, of Beret’s.  Ola had such a bad Headache that day.  Greet all our relatives.  Many thanks Brother and Alma for everything.  A thousand dear greetings from us all.
